My homebase is in Darmstadt, Germany, which ist about 30km south of Frankfurt. I just turned 30 (so somewhere between quarter- and midlife-crisis) and right now I'm looking for a new job somewhere in the music industry. I'm nuts about music - concerts, festival, new records, crazy facts, great cover artworks - you name it.

My travel style is more centered towards non-touristic travel, I don't like rushing from one touristic highlight to another. I like arty and weird hang-outs, unusual places and of courses great music venues or record stores.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm still new to the whole couchsurfing thing and hope to meet some great people and make good memories.
